Long Term Unemployment Is.....

...having skills that are officially unrecognisable,
which can't be transferred, because they go unseen
for not being recognised in money terms.
The long term unemployed do have USPs
that are unique, to the point of being unsaleable,
for which they earn their rejection from employers.
This often leaves the rejected in limbo
Their unique capacity to accept rejection
has no use except for being further rejected.  
But somehow in the rich west we are still kept.
All the while they experience the distant waves
of disapproval from those whom Mammon
and his friends find for more.
